How do you mark errors?

The sheet gives a marking box. Cross out a wrong word and write the correct one above it, draw a caret to add a missing comma and cross out an extra comma. A misplaced modifier is crossed out and written again at the caret where it belongs.

Is there a checklist for editing a student's own draft?

Yes. Sentence and Modifier Editing Checklist has a row for phrases and clauses, modifiers, commas with adjectives and sentence variety. Students check each row and write one fix they made.
